Codex has been great for me
Anything coming from OpenAI is an automatic "Hell, no!" for me.
Use z.ai then. No need to knee jerk react
Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"

It can't be legal that they randomly charge extra usage with no user consent.
What kind of law would cover this?
Probably the UCC.

> What I don't quite understand is why would one of the most advanced AI labs use rudimentary broken text match heuristics to track and detect abuse. It's vibe-coded. What's hard about understanding that?
They’re idiots who hacked together a shockingly useful tool by leveraging the billions of dollars they received from shamelessly hyping up chatbots. The Claude Code leak makes this very clear.
Pretty wild to say that the company with one of the best models (arguably the best) is a bunch of idiots.
Re: Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
#534So what's next ... they are going to charge you a 30% commission on your sales for products build with their tools?
They very well may try, if not already discussing ways to accomplish this or claim partial ownership of everything generated and just license the output to you. They're already trying to do platform lock-in with all this as it is. IIRC One of their investors/investor groups said something like the best customers are hostages so you know it's coming in some form.
This would be crazy after they used basically tons of material regardless of the licence or are hammering third party websites to crawl data.

#535Honestly, this isn't a change really from how anthropic has operated for a long, long time. They did the same with OpenCode, pi, etc. There isn't anything that can stop you from using the SDK, however.

Re: Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
#536That’s incredibly frustrating. I’ve got a NixOS Qemu VM I use to run openclaw in. I had Claude help me set it up, and it runs local models on my own machine in a config based sandbox. Why should Claude block or charge extra to work on that? Why should Claude care if I have instructions for Hermes or OpenClaw in my project repos? This fingerprinting is incredibly sloppy for how much access to a machine Claude code has…

What part of "vibe coding" is unclear to you?
These are the same people that use React as a TUI and render at 60FPS to your terminal in order to update a spinner.

You don't even need to put it in a project, put it in all your blog posts as invisible (white font white background) text, and if Claude winds up reading your website as part of a research task, you basically bricked someone's Claude session. Why is it amateur hour at Anthropic lately?
Because AI is a new product category in tech, and every single new product category in tech always, no exceptions, insists on learning nothing from history, and so the dumb shit is repeated until they learn their own lessons. I am almost 40, and I have seen the same pattern play out several times now, it’s always the same.

I'm only half a decade behind you, and I agree. Sad to see really, these are people who work really hard, but I think they are too focused on the algos and nobody is hiring experienced back-end and application builders.
Re: Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
#538This is very concerning. Their heavy handed tactics haven't impacted me personally yet but I am increasingly nervous and casting about for viable egress paths if I need to flee Claude Code. I really hope they pump the breaks and thoroughly reorient themselves. They are under a lot of competing pressures and probably can't make a decision that won't upset a lot of people (in order to balance growth and capacity etc),…
I have been eyeing off the ollama and minimax plans, but I just don’t know how to compare them. Ollama especially, I have no idea how much usage I could get out of a plan.
Also, just learned about opencode go from other comments here, so gotta look into that.

The demo above uses the prompt "hi". The openclaw string is in the git history, which Claude goes looking for.
You're right, didn't read that properly. Okay then that actually makes sense if that's a (relatively) deterministic way to work out if openclaw is used
It's definitely not! Now I can Claude Code proof all future PRs into my open source repo with a single commit message.
